A doctor, a one-time driver and a personal assistant head a motley ensemble of possible picks for Myanmar's next president, as democracy figurehead Aung San Suu Kyi seeks a close confidante to rule in her place.
Suu Kyi, 70, is barred from Myanmar's presidency by a constitution that thwarts her ambition to lead the country away from decades of military rule.
Instead she has vowed to rule "above" the next leader, potentially adopting a system like India's Sonia Gandhi, who wielded huge influence over her Congress party's administrations despite having no official government role. (Courtesy of Daily Mail Online)
